The closing date for receipt of grant applications under the 2009 maintenance grant schemes was the 31st August 2009. However, clause 11.1 of the Higher Education Grant Scheme provides the awarding authorities with discretion to accept applications after this date and treat such applications as if they had been received on time. Therefore, the candidate referred to by the Deputy should take up the matter with the relevant local authority in Cork in this instance.
